'Civilian control of the military is among the most fundamental principles of our constitutional system. This is for a good reason. Any student of history knows that when generals start calling the shots, sooner or later there will be actual shots. As the Roman Empire descended into chaos, it became horrifyingly common for praetorian guards to depose one emperor and replace him with another preferred by patricians in the Senate or by the soldiers themselves.
Something has happened to our military, which now sees itself as just another arm of the same liberal establishment that is also in charge of the media, Wall Street, Big Tech and the universities.
Someone should remind members of the brass that they are sworn to protect the people of this country, and that how they go about doing it is best left to the commander-in-chief we elect to do so.'

This should not be allowed and we should recognize it was because Biden wanted a person of color in that slot....no matter if he got propped up and boosted thrughout his career not because of merit but because of Affirmative Action.
Would you want to be a passenger on a plane flown by a pilot who got the job because of Affirmative Action?
Would you want to have surgery by a doctor who got through medical school because of Affirmative Action?
Yet....here we are as a nation....with a secretary of defense whose only credentials for that job is because of his skin color?
The humaitarian crisis in Afghanistan is owned by him and biden.
Biden listened to him instead of his intelligence reports.....intel that said the Afghan Army would fold quickly.

lest we forget General Austin was given an exemption to be Secretary of the Defense though he was a military man.
